My wee (literally) project :)

[.produKt]

Well your not the only one!

If you havent seen Monster garage, thier vortex supercharger did 7 psi just from the engine and the charged air went into
a aluminium box that surrounded the whole carbie. Wonder if im gonna have to do that?.

And yussss Sniper I completely comprehend lag, after all, i used to own a Subaru Legacy turbo and oh god was that laggy >_<.

Somehow i feel that ive taken lag out of the equation as with my setup. Theres no waiting for the rpms to come in before enough exhaust gases are made - in order to get more turbo rpm's due to being geardriven... And btw vote for me! i need some fugging reputation..... i HATE being a moped rider :S >_<~ i dont even own one!! -_-

You thought of a belt type drive for the turbine?

[.produKt]

Engine spins clockwise. Turbo must be driven anticlockwise or all the air will just be commin out the opposite side, which just isnt cosha.. :X

And yes ive actually already explored this option. I came to the conclusion that gears would be easier because.

I could have them at a fixed distance
i dont know if anyone makes custom micro-v belts?
I'd have to setup a belt tensioner

Where as to use gearing all i need to do is have a bracket made at the right specs and have the gears welded in the appropriate places.....

AND! .

Damn your a forum whore snipey

You just got to post loads of crap to get off being a moped rider. its all in site faq. rep for sticking a turbo on something tiny, coming right up! One condition, make your own damn bracket, how hard can it be?!

[.produKt]

Quite hard when your flatmate steals all your tools when he does the fucking midnight bolt from the flat

Shouldn't cost to much anyway. And besides, cant find the gears i need so they may have to be custom made too -_-~

[kickingzebra]

id loan you mine, but the whole ditch in the middle too big thing...

I know this is a really silly question and Im really not up to speed with this, but couldn't you get an engineer to modify the turbo to spin clockwise, or even simpler, turn the turbo around?

[Devil]

I'd go the gear way myself, then you can change the ratio's down the track if you dont get it right.

Tried lego sprockets? haww haww

[imdying]

I'm guessing those gear won't come cheap, wouldn't want to be changing those too often. Would have thought pulleys would be far cheaper to fabricate. Still a waste of money though.

I thought of that too, but the Exhaust wheel housing and compressor wheel housings are completely different (see photos).

And to turn the turbo around means having nowhere t' put ya leg....... at all... :-(

Do you earn money to have it just sit in the bank?

So once it's all going you'll be investing in a bit of pimping to make the bike look like a high performance racing machine?

[imdying]

No, but I'd use that money for something useful, like trading my ZXR250 on a RS250 Aprilia

[.produKt]

Yup .. well maybe. I've never pimped anything, so it might just get a big fuckoff pod filter . and maybe a boost gauge and a rev meter or somethin silly like that ;D

[Sniper]

Make and adapter for the turbo that you can turn it round but have it away from your leg
